Mongibello Palace B&B

Great location. Great breakfast. Wonderful 'assistance' from Rosario and his cohort Daniele.

Pros: The location was great, a short walk to the sea and restaurants. Breakfast was delicious, with a generous assortment of cannoli and croissants and, if one wished, one's choice of eggs, freshly cooked by Rosario, who was the highlight of the stay here. Not only did he call the company in Palermo through which I had booked a tour to explain that it was impossible for me to attend because Mondello was flooded and no buses or taxis were running, the net result being them agreeing to take the exceptional step of refunding me the cost of the tour. That same morning Roasario was also the hero of the day for another guest, whose very expensive and much needed eye glasses had slipped off in to the harbour as she was on the pier the night before. Upon hearing this Rosario offered to get his goggles and go look for them. It took him many dives but he kept on going until he finally came up holding the glasses aloft. Cheers all round.

Cons: Despite having confirmed my arrival time well in advance with Giulio, when I arrived there was no one at the B&B, a first in all my years of travelling in Italy. Since I was between accommodations I didn't have WIFI so had no way of contacting the B&B. I stood at the entrance gate for a while and then finally decided to risk incurring the annoyance of another resident in the building and rang the only other bell I could see. I apologized profusely 'per il disturbo' and the resident very kindly and very patiently made a couple of phone calls to locate someone to let me in. When I had WIFI again I saw that Giulio had sent me a new message earlier that day - AFTER I had left my previous lodgings -requesting that I send him a message a half hour before I arrived. They say 'all's well that ends well' but it is difficult to understand why, when he did not receive a reply to his new request, he did not arrange for someone to meet me at the previously agreed upon time. Another issue that I hope will be addressed had to do with the shutters on the window. I tried to close them at night, but I was worried I would break something if I forced them any harder. No one from the B&B was around to ask for help and since there are no drapes, even worse than the lack of privacy, the street lamp flooded the room with light all night. Rosario came to the rescue once again the next day - tho' it was a bit of a struggle even for him - and managed to yank them shut.

Warm welcoming staff in a great location near the beach

Pros: Great location. Short walk to the beach. Nice room with balcony & rooftop patio with fantastic views. Very welcoming & helpful staff particularly Daniele. Breakfast was good but could have more variety.

Just book your stay here everything is great location close to the beach I would recommend this place to family and frie

Pros: Clean spacious fresh rooms with comfy bed great shower and bathroom and balcony

Cons: Get service from the staff here the are so helpful and informative and make a great breakfast with ver fresh croissants

Pros: We had a wonderful stay! Giulio and Rosario were fantastic hosts, warm, welcoming, and always happy to help. The beds were very comfortable, and everything was spotless. The highlight was the large rooftop terrace with its stunning view over Mondello, perfect for relaxing at the end of the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better place and would happily come back.

Cons: This is not really a criticism, but rather a small suggestion for improving the service. Even though the hosts put a lot of effort into breakfast and always asked what we would like, I think it might be easier for everyone if there was a small buffet where guests could simply choose what they like.
